Moreover, the openable portion 16 is designed such that displacement, in a horizontal direction H along said side provided with an opening, of a first abutment portion relative to a second abutment portion, substantially diagonally opposite the first abutment portion, is counteracted, and such that displacement, in the horizontal direction H along said side provided with an opening, of a third abutment portion relative to a fourth abutment portion, substantially diagonally opposite the third abutment portion, is counteracted, whereby a unidirectional angle setting of the two corner profiles 10, connected to the side provided with an opening, along said side provided with the opening, is counteracted.
